Meta Skill Generator - Deliverables

📦 What You're Getting

I've created a comprehensive meta-skill for Claude Code that generates other skills with intelligent separation of deterministic operations into Go scripts, exactly as you requested!

🎯 Core Functionality

1. Workflow Analysis Engine

Automatically analyzes user requirements and classifies operations as:

  • Go scripts - Deterministic, performance-critical operations
  • Python scripts - Library-heavy operations (pandas, ML, etc.)
  • Agent workflows - Tasks requiring reasoning and context

2. Go Script Generator

Creates production-ready Go code with:

  • Complete CLI framework (--help, --verbose, proper flags)
  • Error handling and validation
  • Progress reporting for long operations
  • Best practice patterns
  • Automatic build scripts
  • SKILL.md integration

3. End-to-End Skill Creation

Interactive workflow that:

  • Gathers concrete examples
  • Analyzes and recommends implementation
  • Generates complete skill structure
  • Creates all Go scripts
  • Validates and packages

Analyze Requirements

# Analyze what should be scripts vs workflows
scripts/analyze_workflow.py --examples requirements.txt

💎 Key Features

Smart Classification

Uses multiple signals to determine the best implementation:

  • Keyword analysis - Identifies deterministic vs dynamic operations
  • Performance indicators - Detects batch/parallel/large-file operations
  • Library requirements - Identifies when Python is needed
  • Context sensitivity - Recognizes when agent reasoning is required

Production-Ready Templates

Generated Go scripts include:

  • Proper CLI argument parsing
  • Input validation before processing
  • Descriptive error messages
  • Progress indicators for long operations
  • Verbose mode for debugging
  • Proper exit codes (0/1/2)
  • Helper functions based on operation type
  • Concurrent processing patterns where appropriate

Comprehensive References

Included reference documentation:

  • go-patterns.md (426 lines) - Battle-tested Go patterns

    • File processing, streaming, concurrent operations
    • Progress reporting, error handling
    • CLI design, data processing (CSV, JSON)
  • workflow-analysis.md (346 lines) - Decision framework

    • When to use Go vs Python vs Agent
    • Real-world examples
    • Common patterns and anti-patterns
  • skill-examples.md (426 lines) - Complete examples

    • PDF Tools, Data Processor, Image Tools
    • Pattern analysis across skills

🎨 Design Philosophy

Based on Skill-Creator Best Practices

Follows all skill-creator guidelines:

  • Progressive disclosure (metadata → SKILL.md → references)
  • Appropriate degrees of freedom
  • Token-efficient design
  • Clear separation of concerns

Intelligent Separation

Not everything should be scripted! The skill identifies:

  • What benefits from compilation → Go scripts
  • What needs reasoning → Agent workflows
  • What needs libraries → Python scripts

Performance Where It Matters

Go scripts for:

  • Format conversions (PDF→images, CSV→JSON)
  • Batch processing (1000s of files)
  • Binary/low-level operations
  • Stream processing of large files

📊 What's Inside the Skill

Scripts (4 files, ~1,050 lines)

  1. generate_go_script.py - Main generator with templates
  2. analyze_workflow.py - Classification engine
  3. init_skill_with_analysis.py - End-to-end creator
  4. test_skill_scripts.py - Validation and testing

📖 Example Output

When generating a Go script:

package main

import (
    "flag"
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "os"
    "io"
    "path/filepath"
)

// Convert PDF pages to PNG images
// Generated by meta-skill-generator

var (
    verbose = flag.Bool("verbose", false, "Enable verbose logging")
    help    = flag.Bool("help", false, "Show this help message")
)

func main() {
    flag.Usage = usage
    flag.Parse()
    
    if *help {
        usage()
        os.Exit(0)
    }
    
    if err := validateArgs(); err != nil {
        fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Error: %v\n", err)
        usage()
        os.Exit(2)
    }
    
    if err := run(); err != nil {
        fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Error: %v\n", err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }
}
